Blue States-inspired 'The Trainer Shuffle' Art Print

If you want to know what the most obscure, most personal, deepest cut in my entire catalogue is, it's probably this track, 'The Trainer Shuffle; by Blue States. Blue States is an amazing one-man chill-out downtempo 'band' that found some minor success in the early oughts; one of his/their tracks made it onto the 2002 film 28 Days Later which raised its profile somewhat. This is my favourite track by Blue States, an instrumental with a deeply melancholy, keening tone of grief to it, offset by a bluesy rhythm section. It has a pleasantly weird sample, four words which end with "Film; Music; Radio" but which for the dear life of me, I can't figure out the first one (if you know, please email me through the shop here and tell me).

In British vernacular, 'trainers' are running shoes aka sneakers, which makes sense with 'shuffle', but given the polyphonic complexity of the music, I wanted something multilayered -- after over a year of searching, I finally discovered this wonderful vintage retro pulp paperback cover which not only shows 'trainers', but also features a trainer, and the three of them suggest a shuffling of power and money. I love it.

It is! We use a global fulfillment company that enables us to print at a printing company local to you, across 23 countries, and then shipped to you from there. It's fast, and all shipping costs are baked into the price you see here. It also means no import or customs fees.

If you need something expedited, then please message me before you buy - there are several super-fast shipping options available (up to overnight) with corresponding premiums.

There will be white borders around the image to facilitate framing, if you decided to frame or mount yourself. The left/right, vertical borders will almost always be thicker than the top/bottom, horizontal borders because of the dimensions of the source material (actual pulp paperback novel covers, or movie posters). I can't stretch the image to fill standard paper sizes without it looking, well, stretched - they look bad and believe me, you don't want that. Because every single poster uses a unique source image, no two images have the same dimensions.

We typically ship orders out within 2 - 3 business days of ordering. From there shipping may take an additional 3-5 business days; most of my customers receive their orders within 10 days of ordering, regardless of destination (yes, Perth, that includes you!).

Yes you can: in addition to the default black, frames are available in white, light wood/birch, and dark wood. Metal frames are also available. If you want a different colour or material for your frame, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BUYING since I need to intervene before your order gets automatically processed.

No, that's only on the website version to dissuade bootleggers from stealing my stuff. Your final product will be clean of any watermark.
